I grew up on my parents’ biodynamic vineyard, Vignoble Klur in Katzenthal near Colmar in Alsace. It is a multifaceted place where different activities coexist, living to the rhythm of the comings and goings of year-round residents, vacationers, and artists-in-residence. www.klur.net
In 2020, I took over a very small part of the wine-growing business, just under 2 hectares, the rest having been transferred to fellow winegrowers in 2019. But I also have a background in plastic and visual arts (University of Strasbourg) and jewelry-goldsmithing (Goldschmiedschule and Hochschule Design in Pforzheim, Germany). This was an open curriculum, mainly workshop-based, where I practiced all the techniques of jewelry and goldsmithing on a wide variety of materials and with the most appropriate technical tools. It was an essentially technical course that also left room for research, allowing me to continue the work I had begun at university.
I therefore decided to learn about vines and wine with my father Clément Klur (not always easy to find your place…) and through occasional training courses in pruning, winemaking, tasting, etc., and to prepare myself for starting a business by taking a university diploma in management at the University of Caen.
The first vintages for wines and accessories will be released in 2020, one per year for each. Both ranges will evolve as my knowledge, technical skills, and inspiration develop.
